Starting August 30th, 2023 for Public Status Pages that allow SMS subscriptions StatusCast will now require that a valid email address be confirmed before a person can fully establish a new SMS subscription.

This change in subscription workflow is to help prevent malicious parties from attempting to commit SMS fraud which has become a growing concern for many SaaS companies dealing with mass notifications. We here at StatusCast have witnessed this trend, in the past 6 months the quantity of malicious traffic attempting to commit SMS fraud has increased drastically. While we have continued to implement industry best practices to safeguard against this sort of activity, ultimately real user confirmation is the most effective way to prevent such unwanted attention.

[closed] Beginning at 1:13 PM PT on June 1st, our engineering team began investigating a problem related to SendGrid Email Validations API. Our team determined that this issue began at 10:13 AM PT and lasted through 1:29 PM PT, at which point a deploy was made to fix the problem. During the affected period, the SendGrid system began producing failures for attempts made to the Email Validations API endpoint for SendGrid. Users accessing this feature would have seen "403 FORBIDDEN" API response errors despite having proper permissions and feature access to this API endpoint. This did not impact mail send. This issue has been resolved and systems are now operating normally.

[closed] StatusCast replaced its vendor for managing support chats within the administrative application. In an effort to improve the efficiency of StatusCast's Suppor team, we have replaced Intercom with Zendesk which we had been previously using to log support tickets. Just as with Intercom, Zendesk does not have access to your subscribers or to your incident data, but does retain some general usage details to help Support in diagnosing and reviewing accounts.
